X Ambassadors Share New Single Y.O.T.H. (Year Of The Horse)

X Ambassadors has released Y.O.T.H.” (Year Of The Horse), the first track following their signing to FLG.

Front man Sam Nelson Harris shares: “It has been a year of substantial change for the band, both personally and professionally. Two of us joined the ranks and became fathers, now making this a band of grown-ass adult parents. We signed a new record deal and started working with new management. Realities have shifted, times have changed, stakes have been raised. Y.O.T.H was written at the beginning of the year, as we were in the last stages of writing for our new album. We were all crammed into a small Airbnb in Nashville, and the instrumental came together as a last-ditch effort to come up with something before everyone called it a night before our flights home the next morning. The lyrics came to me a few weeks after, the chorus first: “can you hear King David’s chord?” while I was on my hands and knees cleaning the toilet in my bathroom. It’s a song about possibility, about learning to embrace the waves that are coming to hit you. It’s a song about change. The beauty and the terror and everything in between.

Not sure if we’ve missed the moment releasing a song called “Year of the Horse” at the END of the year of the horse, but… as a new dad, I’m learning to be okay being late to everything now.“
